A deicing system for leading edges of an aircraft. There is a hot air supply tube extending along the leading edge, a fan to move air through the tube, an electric heater to heat the air that is moved through the tube, and pressure release valves. The hot air is discharged from openings in the tube to spray against the internal surfaces of the wall forming the leading edge. In another embodiment, an electric heater is not used, but there is a compressor which in compressing the air raises the air temperature to accomplish the deicing.
